Going home factor

Featured Replies

Posted

Just for those posters that think ,if Viney go to GWS or GC that he will return to us in two years time because of the "Go home" factor

We have 19 players on our list/rookie list who have come from interstate

5 from SA

4 from Qld

6 from WA

3 from Tas

1 from NT

I think, from memory, 1 went home because he wanted to...(S.Thompson)

A couple of others went because they were no longer requied....

All young players get homesick, but the clubs are very good now at intergrating them into their system and very few good players now want to change clubs because they want to go 'home' Judd comes to mind.....There are always rumours that "Oh he wants to go home" but it occurs very rarely now.

So if your thinking that we can lose Viney and that he will come back......Forget it.

Its all about playing to percentage. If a recruiter doesn't suggest it then there is 0% chance of it occurring.

If a recruiter does suggest it then there is a minimum of 0.0001% chance of it occurring. Got to be in it to Win it i says!~!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
